Israeli Bandages valued at US $650,000, were delivered to the frontlines in Ukraine. Procured through funds collected via the #UniteWithUkraine campaign, it is the largest non-governmental delivery of such supplies to the defenders of Ukraine since the start of Russia's unprovoked invasion of the country.
The delivery, consisting of 100,000 units of 6" Israeli Bandages, was sent to Tetiana Ostashchenko, the Commander in Chief of the Medical Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
The "Israeli Bandage" is a three-in-one first-aid device that serves as an initial bandage, pressure applicator, and secondary bandage. Designed specifically to be easily self-wrapped to stop bleeding from hemorrhagic wounds caused by traumatic injuries in pre-hospital emergency situations. On the battlefield, a simple item like an Israeli Bandage can mean the difference between life and death.
The delivery is the first since the formation of Unite With Ukraine's 'Strategic Advisory Council' (SAC) on 24 June. In addition to providing strategic military advice, the SAC provides advice on procurement, including identifying suppliers and ensuring the efficacy and authenticity of selected equipment and tactical gear.
